HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
January 26, 1943.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my report as Superintendent of Streets for the year of 1942.
Due to war conditions and Government priorities, many of the streets selected to be repaired and surface treated had to be omitted. I requested 60,000 gallons of Tar and was allotted only 36,000 gallons, out of which 5000 gallons was used for patching and 8500 gallons for our Chap. 90 Roads, leaving a balance of 22,000 for Town roads.
The following is a breakdown on all work done during the past year. All streets were patched. Many of them had to be patched sev- eral times even though they were to be scarified, reshaped and surface treated at a later date because it was not until August 15 that I found how much Tar I was to receive. Owing to poor surface con- dition of these streets, a half gallon of Tar to the square yard had to be used instead of the usual third of a gallon, to obtain the proper results. Aldrich Road, 6/10ths of a mile honed; Andover Street, 5/10ths of a mile honed; Boutwell Street, 7/10ths of a mile honed; Woburn Street, 4/10ths of a mile honed and 4/10ths of a mile scari- fied, graded and penetrated. Same to be sealed in 1943; High Street, 5/10ths of a mile honed; Glen Road, 8/10ths of a mile honed; Lake Street, 3/10ths of a mile honed; Middlesex Avenue, No. Wilmington, 3/10ths of a mile scarified, graded, penetrated and sealed. also 2/10ths scarified, graded and penetrated. Same to be sealed in 1943; Middle- sex Avenue from end of cement sidewalk to Federal Street, 20 tons of stone dust spread on sidewalk to improve walking conditions; Con- cord Street, 8/10ths of a mile blanket treated; Ballardvale Street, 6/10ths of a mile scarified, graded and penetrated of which 3/10ths was sealed. Balance to be sealed in 1943. The untreated surface of Ballardvale Street was scarified, graded and rolled to the Andover line to insure safe traveling; Park Street scarified, graded and rolled to the No. Reading line, a distance of about 1 mile; Morse Avenue, 3/10ths of a mile constructed, all boulders blasted and removed, same graded and penetrated. There are a number of large boulders left on the shoulders that should be drilled, split and removed to complete the job. Westdale Avenue was graded in sections to make it safe for traffic.
78
Chap 90 roads. Salem Street, 2 sections widened, all catch basins cleaned and brush cut, all shoulders scraped and dirt picked up where needed. 9/10ths of a mile honed; Shawsheen Avenue, all catch basins cleaned and brush cut, shoulders scraped and dirt picked up where needed, 6/10ths of a mile honed; Burlington Avenue, all catch basins cleaned and brush cut, shoulders scraped and dirt picked up where needed, 5/10ths of a mile honed; Church Street, all gutters and catch basins cleaned, shoulders raked and weeds removed at fences, 200 feet honed; Lowell Street, all catch basins cleaned, brush cut and burned, shoulders scraped and dirt picked up where needed, 8/10ths of a mile honed; Middlesex Avenue from Church Street to Mystic Avenue, all gutters and catch basins cleaned.
The old narrow and very dangerous bridge on Federal Street has been replaced with a double bbl 30 foot Toncan pipe culverts 4 feet in diameter. The two head walls are to be completed with field stones at a later date as the freezing weather made it impossible to do a satisfactory job. The balance of the money was used to fill in and widen the approaches. While the department was working there I concluded it was practical to use what ever General Highway funds necessary to gravel the street for about a distance of 500 feet so as to match the same width and level that existed at the bridge. Another 8 inch layer of gravel will have to be added to the present grade to bring same up to that of the bridge when finished. Also about eighty cement posts and a number of 2" x 6" planks will have to be purchased to complete the fence. Due to truck breakdown, a sharp rise in the cost of graveling was caused. For 6 days I had but 2 Chevrolet trucks working. The Mack was in Boston for repairs and the 5-Ton GMC was and still is in the Town garage waiting for parts which have been ordered 3 times. 2 Chevrolet loads equals about 1 Mack truck load.
Two very needy repairs to the Town Garage were made, namely 5 new overhead doors were installed at a cost of $780.00 and a new roof was put on at a cost of $300.00.
The WPA for the present has been abolished, but 2 of the 3 streets they were constructing have been completed. The third one Jones Avenue was started but will be finished by the Highway Dept.
In making out my budget for 1943 I have followed the same pro- cedure as in 1942. I have selected the streets or section of streets that cannot go another year without repairs or surface treatment. I have also taken into consideration the present conditions under which we are living and the various tax burdens we are obliged to carry. At this time I would like to impress upon the minds of you voters and
79
taxpayers a few of the facts concerning your Town employees. 1st they have the same family problenis and tax burdens to face as other workers. 2nd they are your servants 24 hours a day. 3rd it is almost impossible for them to feed, clothe and properly maintain their fanı- ilies on the wages they receive. 4th they are asking for nothing more than a 5 day week guarantee which means $30.00 per week for drivers and $25.00 per week for laborers. As you all know, the nien of the Highway Dept. have been called upon niany times during very rough weather and under very dangerous conditions, especially at night when a slip could cause the loss of a human life, to plow or sand icy streets and every man responded. In all fairness to them try and place yourselves in their positions and think of the things they have to contend with in order to render the service which the public demands. Of course you realize it costs money to operate a department efficiently and the above will help show why I have recommended $28,000. for the Highway Dept.
The Board of Survey, (your Selectmen) have a number of streets laid out and will insert Articles in the Town Warrant for their acceptance. Please give them your full support as they are sincerely trying to get the Town under Chap 81, which means the State will donate dollar for dollar on a mileage basis. Most of our surrounding towns come under Chap. 81.
At this time I would like to tell you in a brief way the present condition of our Highway equipment. 1925 Tractor in good condition; 1925 GMC inspected by Bucks Garage and pronounced unfit for road duty; 1930 Reo donated to salvage drive as it was beyond repairs; 1930 GMC 5 ton at present, in garage waiting for parts which have been ordered 3 times in the past 10 weeks; 1933 Chevrolet 11/2 ton condition poor; 1935 Chevrolet 11/2 ton, condition fair; 1937 Mack 31/2 ton, condition good; 1941 International 1/2 ton pick up, condition good; 1927 Gas Roller, condition fair, should be overhauled at a cost of about $1000. Bucket loader, condition good. 1 patch mixer, useless.
You can readily see from the above report that some new equip- inent must be purchased. This can be done through the War Produc- tion Board.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for its sin- cere and hearty cooperation and the various departments for their assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES H. WHITE,
Superintendent of Streets.
